One form of disinformation that algorithms promote is clickbait. This is where
an exaggerated, dramatic or intriguing made-up headline or image is posted
with the sole purpose of ‘click-baiting’ people to click on it to take them to
a web page. This is normally to make money
through advertisements on these pages.

Note: Both mis- and disinformation can be reported on the website you see it
on. Ask an adult to help you and follow the ‘report post’ instructions.
Remember, sharing the post, even if you want to warn people about it, will
only make it spread more… think algorithms!

Discrimination is when a group of people or an individual treat people
they perceive as different, unkindly or badly compared to others. Due to
algorithms and filter bubbles, feelings of separation can be amplified online
leading people to become narrow minded and prejudiced.
Discrimination is extremely damaging to individuals, to our communities
and ultimately to our whole planet.

Individuals: It can significantly affect the wellbeing of those who
are being discriminated against, including making them feel afraid,
isolated and angry.
Where we live: It can damage our societies by creating
misunderstandings and divisions between groups of people.
Our planet: It can affect everyone with hate, inequalities and wars.
one is born hating another person
“ Nobecause
of the colour of his skin, or
his background, or his religion. People
must learn to hate, and if they can
learn to hate, they can be taught to
love, for love comes more naturally
to the human heart than its opposite.

We have algorithms pruning what
we see online and of course we
also choose to follow people who
share our views and who we like.
Before we know it our view of
the world gets very small. With
each online visit, a filter bubble
is created using our online
history, social media and feeds.
People can get stuck in their filter
bubbles, never seeing what a
small, narrow-minded view they
are having, and these bubbles
have the potential to be very
dangerous as they can create a
sense of division in society by
warping perceptions of the truth.
Look out for clickbait when you are online. you can use the space below to
write down any details of what you see or where you see them — remember to
talk to a trusted adult if you are worried about anything online.
